Determination of Internal Erosion and Permittivity of Biopolymer-Added Geosynthetic Clay Liners by Hakkı Oral Özhan

“…Geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) can be used as a lining material in freshwater reservoirs due to its very low hydraulic conductivity. The high amount of water that can be collected on top of a GCL might force the bentonite in the GCL to be extruded out of the geotextiles and as a result, the sudden increase in the hydraulic conductivity might cause the GCL to loose its hydraulic capability. …”
